A great little hands on effector!

After watching James Zabiela demonstrate this unit at a tradeshow, I immediately went out and got one. Such fun to use and allows amazing live creativity. While it has now been superseded by the RMX1000, the EFX1000 still offers huge amounts of creative flare and visual showmanship when used as part of a performance.
